"Til's body will now be frozen while zoo officials decide whether to have him stuffed." [Spiegel]

Til was named for German actor Til Schweiger, who was once in a movie called "Rabbit Without Ears." [Bild]

Though Til's killer remains unidentified, the journalist reportedly "became frightened when the squirrel scratched her leg and she kicked." Update: My bad, that one is about a separate incident, in which a German journalist accidentally kicked a famous squirrel to death. Good story, though. [NYT]
